Who will benefit from attending?

This conference, exclusively for Buckinghamshire Upper Schools, is suitable for all AS and A level students who wish to develop their problem solving skills. Bring your entire y12 cohort + your A level teachers

Content

Each group of students or teachers will attend four workshops on a rotation basis. All workshops have new problems and we have 2 completely new workshops, so there will be no repeats for teachers who attended last year.

Workshops:

Getting started with Problem Solving (Students) OR Supporting Students (NEW for Teachers)

Working in a Group (NEW problems for the teacher workshops)

Logic Problems (NEW)

A Menagerie of Problems (NEW problems for the teacher workshops)

Materials and Equipment

Students and teachers should bring writing materials and calculators.

Eligibility

All non-selective state schools in Buckinghamshire. Please note that this event is designed for schools with small A level cohorts. If you have more than 12 students in year 12, please still apply, but note that we may need to prioritise smaller schools. In this case we will attempt to arrange a personal school visit to include at least 2 workshops.

Please note also that this conference is for teachers to attend with their students. We are not able to accept applications from unaccompanied students.

Cost

There is no fee for this event, but participating schools are required to send a £100 deposit, payable to The Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, within 3 weeks of their places at the conference being confirmed.
